We travelled to my brother and sister-in-law's house today.  After lunch my brother wanted me to take some photos of him on the jump on his motorcross track. 

We had a tour of his garden and the work he has done; I went out on the quad bike; I tested his zip wire; we played table tennis and then...

... he asked me if I wanted to try his electric mountain bike. I took it up the land to the woods and back and then we both went for a ride down the rode, not intending going on a full ride. I was enjoying it but then there was an S bend in the road, which I didn't know. I made the outside curve and then was surprised with a tight inside curve. I was going a bit fast, the bike was heavier than I thought, i panicked and hit the brakes, the bike slide and threw me off, i hit the floor. Ouch! 

R cycled back to the house to  get the car to pick me up. Lots of pulled muscles, bruises and a big graze!
